GamesIndustry.biz has more quotes on the state of PC gaming, this time from
Steve Nix, id Software Director of Business Development. Nix feels some of the
hardcore PC gaming audience is shifting to consoles, something id cannot
ignore:

"There are plenty of people who are diehard mouse and keyboard
guys that may never go to console, and also right now, if you have the highest
of high-end PCs, you're generally going to get a better visual experience," Nix
said. "There's no console out there that's as powerful as a God machine right
now, with a Quad-Core and a GeForce 8800 - it's very hard for any console to
compete with that."

"So you still have PC players, and some players are just console guys, but have
players moved over? Absolutely. We love PC gaming, and we continue to support PC
gaming - but you can't ignore the market realities and the size of the console
market these days."

I've been using it for almost 4 weeks now and I'm quite happy with it. It will run you about $200.00 for everything if you buy the Xim adapter pre-made (something I strongly suggest) along with the rest of the parts. Is it pixel accurate? No. but it does approximate the accuracy of the old Fragjoy adapter for the Xbox 1 which is pretty good. It is certainly 1000% better than being stuck using a gamepad.

The way I look at it, I can either sit here and bitch while missing out on some great games or i can bite the bullet and part with a few bucks which more than doubles the available games I have open to me.
